The first match being played between the IPL winners Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals. Interestingly two great players from both the team Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid would be playing last time in the Champions league. Both of these have already announced their retirement from the IPL.

The tournament final will be played on October 6. Listed below are the match schedules for the tournament.

There is still around a year and half left for the ICC cricket world cup 2015 to start, however the cricket tournaments that would be played in these 18 months period would be crucial for every players from every participating nation. Players form and fitness in these tournaments can be the deciding factor if the player will get selected for the world cup team or not. In this post I am posting about two important cricket series for the Indian cricket team .

Before the ICC cricket world cup 2015 Indian cricket team has two play two important series. One is a home series against Australia and second in the Indian cricket team tour to South Africa. The home series against Australia will consist of one twenty twenty match and seven ODI matches. Since this series is being played at home grounds many of the blog readers might thing that its an insignificant game, but I've two valid points one that the oppostion team is Australia, which is co-host for the 2015 cricket wold cup and secondly the players form in this series can get them selected for the South African tour thus indirectly the series against Australia will decide a players inclusion in the list of probables for the world cup 2015.

The tour of South Africa is a long one which will include 2 T20 games, 7 ODI and 3 test matches. Apart from these matches there would be practice matches against domestic teams of South Africa. So tour of South Africa will give a nice exposure to Indian players of bouncy, fast pitches and nay players who performs here would get the ticket for the world cup where pitch conditions are almost the same.

I'll post match details on India Vs South Africa (India tour of South Africa) later as that series starts November. Till then enjoy the current matches and book your match tickets in advance for the India Vs Australia series.
